The Federal Aviation Administration's William J. Hughes Technical Center is interested in entering into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with small business organizations to enhance, manufacture, and market a technology entitled SUN keyboard system translator (SunKeyST).
SunKeyST is an essential tool in support of real-time simulations conducted at the FAA's Research Development and Human Factors Laboratory (RDHFL). The device allows virtually any keyboard or pointing device to transparently interface to a SUN Microsystems workstation without the need for additional hardware or software support. SunKeyST currently translates FAA air traffic control (ATC) enroute and terminal input devices into SUN computer language. The device is highly portable and operates without the need for special interface software to be loaded onto the SUN system.
